Item 9A - Staff ReportSOUTHLAK.-E PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES STAFF REPORT October 11, 2022 CASE NO: SV22-0013 PROJECT: Amendment to the Master Sign Plan for Granite Place Two EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Corgan is requesting approval of an amendment to the previously approved Master Sign Plan for the new Granite Place Two building located at 601 State Street, Southlake, Texas. REQUEST: This item is a proposed amendment to the existing Granite Place Two Master Sign Plan. This office building is currently under construction at 601 State Street. The current approved Master Sign Plan allows six attached building signs (3 upper floor signs and 3 lower floor signs) within a defined sign area location on the building. The upper floor signs (identified as signs A, B and C) are permitted to be located within a 4' height x 50' wide sign area. The lower floor signs (identified as signs D, E and F) must be within a 2' height x 30' wide sign area. The current Master Sign Plan permits a maximum letter height of 14 inches for all six sign areas. The proposed revised Master Sign Plan proposes increasing the sign area on the lower floor signs (Signs D, E, and F) from to 2' height x 30' width to 2.5' height x 30' width (A 6-inch height increase in sign area). Also, the proposed revised Master Sign Plan eliminates the 14-inch maximum letter size and permits any letter size that fits within the defined sign area. This is a maximum letter height of 2.5 feet (30 inches) for lower floor signage and a maximum letter height of 4 feet (48 inches) for the upper floor signage. This proposed revision would create sign regulations similar to those currently in place for the existing Granite Place One office building. All previous conditions of the Master Sign Plan under MSP21-0006 are to remain unless otherwise approved. Case No. SV22-0013 A detailed summary of the amendment to the master sign plan is as follows: Sign Locations Site Plan bu - 5 500516" E S 50'05'I6- E 49.72' cod �1m') L u opa(BY PLAT) ErviER 6� i..o. oz aoaanez N N 60'45'53" WNW Rcw r 1 xy-i`W"LL 350-20 —o xo. omcuwse �'000 wrr t vnn0 -.
